Tottenham aren’t giving up on signing £55m attacker after getting Mathys Tel – journalist

Tottenham finally got the new attacking reinforcement they were looking for on deadline day as they signed Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich on loan.

Tottenham had been in the market for attacking talents throughout the winter transfer window.

Indeed, Spurs wanted to sign Randal Kolo Muani at one point in January, while Spurs were also linked with Jonathan David last month too.

Tyler Dibling was also linked with Spurs, but that deal didn’t come to fruition.

Tottenham didn’t sign Dibling in January, but they could still go for the £55m man in the summer according to Dean Jones, speaking on Market Madness.

Tottenham not giving up on Tyler Dibling

According to Jones, Tottenham aren’t giving up on signing Tyler Dibling from Southampton.

However, Jones says that other clubs will look at signing the £55m man in the summer as well as Spurs.

“Southampton, their fate is pretty determined at this point. I think it’s interesting that they’ve held off on Tyler Dibling for now. There was definitely interest in him from Tottenham that they have managed to steer away for now I’d say,” Jones said.

“Largely because of the fact they wanted a big fee for him, but Tottenham, I don’t think they will give up on trying to get Dibling, but other clubs will certainly look at him too.”

Tottenham signings from relegated clubs

As the journalist says, Southampton’s fate appears to be all-but sealed and a return to the Championship appears to be all but confirmed.

However, just because a player has dropped down to the Championship doesn’t mean that they can’t be a useful signing for a top club.

Indeed, Tottenham know only too well how valuable it can be to scour the market of recently relegated players from the Premier League.

Tottenham aren’t afraid to sign players from relegated Premier League teams, and, sometimes, those players can prove to be incredible signings too.

Dibling looks like he’s the real deal, and he could well be the next James Maddison-type signing Spurs make from a recently-relegated Premier League side.
